Show Notes

In this episode, Peta shares her journey from employee to trailing spouse to freelancer.
How to go back to work after a break? The world goes on, what can we bring to a new employer?
Self-doubts are very common amongst women who have left the corporate world, whatever the reason. And yet managing an overseas relocation and/ or managing a young family, and /or looking after family members requires skills, skills that can be incredibly useful in the workplace (adaptability, creative solutions, empathy, just cite a few).
Peta shares her journey in rediscovering her transferrable skills and leveraging them to become an accomplished freelancer.
Her biggest fear: failure. Is she alone in this? no.
Her weapon: courage. Take a leap of faith.
And learn to say no. 
Know your worth, set your prices, get support from your network, and never rest on your laurels.
